Kathryn Collis 
The Monster in the Corner 

Ellie Veritys husband dies suddenly, leaving her bereaved and lonely. Her younger son, Brad, gives her a computer and tries to teach her how to use it, as he is sure this will alleviate her loneliness. He tries to teach her how to register an e-mail address, but they argue. He tells his mother that unless she learns to e-mail, he doesnt want to hear from her. Ellie hates the computer; to her it is a monster.

Ellie answers a newspaper advertisement placed by a man named Don, who teaches people how to use computers.

Now Ellie becomes the monster, completely addicted to the Internet.

Brad asks Don to do something about his mothers obsession. Unfortunately, the solution Don finds is not to Brads liking. Suddenly his mother is doing things she would never previously have done, including getting stranded in the Northern Territory and arrested in Dubai.
